反応手順

0.500 g of the epoxyamide (5A) was dissolved in a mixture of 40 ml of chloroform and 40 ml of water and 371 mg of sodium p-fluorobenzenesulfinate was added. Subsequently, 298 mg of tetrabutylammonium bromide was added. The reaction mixture was heated till reflux, while stirring vigorously. The reaction was monitored with HPLC. After 96 hours of reflux, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. 20 ml of chloroform was added and the organic layer was washed with 3×50 ml of water, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to dryness. Yield: 860 mg. Purification of the crude product by column chromatography (Merck silica gel 60; eluent: heptane/ethyl acetate=1/1) afforded bicalutamide as white solid. Isolated yield: 380 mg (48%). 1H-NMR: confirmed the structure.
